| Hi Gary (90th), Springbok and Pete (Admin). These photo's that you are posting are indeed much appreciated, and it's very good of you to share them with all of us on the forum. Pete is doing a fine job posting them up on the site, even though he must be rushed off his feet. The old album photo's are great, and springboks pictures are brilliant (especially for those of us who have not much hope of ever getting to S.A.) I am sure that I speak for all of the members when I say a big THANK YOU to all three of you. Well done those men. Martin. |

| 90th The photo of isandlwana, numbered 23, do you have a date on it? The comparison with a modern day shot shows a huge shape change over the years
Once again thanks for sharing.

| Hi Springbok . I'm sure I've seen this photo reproduced in several books over the years and although the photo is undated in the Album , I believe its late 1879 - 1881 . I'm not home so unfortunately cant check any of the books . Cheers 90th |

| Hi Springbok . Although I havent as yet been to Isandlwana I can tell from the books I've read and from what others have posted on here and written in books and elsewhere that the vegetation has increased many many times over since 1879 . I think I read somewhere that Ian Knight said 90 % in some areas !!. Cheers 90th. |

| Hi 90th Not really the vegetation, the whole mountain shape has changed. the lower plateau is a lot lower and flatter.
